Description

The ground state of positronium hydride has been found to be stable against dissociation into positronium and hydrogen by at least 0.0736 Ryd (1.00 eV) through a variational calculation. This dissociation energy is 26% larger than the most recently reported value. The two-photon annihilation rate is calculated to be 2.33 ns-1.
